| India_Dabhou_W_584_side_view Two, 2ft 6in gauge railway lines ran from the Western Railway station of Nadiad: roughly northeast to Kapadvanj, 28 miles (45km) opened 1913 and southwest to Bhadran 37 miles (59km) opened 1914. Diesel locomotives took over from steam until the Bhadran line was totally closed, while the route to Kapadbanj was converted to broad gauge, initially diesel worked, but it is reported that electrification is underway. Dabhou station with 0-6-2 W 584 (WB 2142/1920) posing in the evening sunshine. The small triangle painted on the cab side, below the engine number, contains the letters ‘ND’ indicating the engine is allocated to Nadiad shed. 13.12.1979. roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |

Dabhou station; 0-6-2 W 584 (WB 2142/1920) departs with T238 Bhadran-Nadiad mixed. The train service on the Nadiad - Bhandran line was obviously well patronised which makes it surprising that the line was closed; 13.12.1979. roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
